In the mid-20th century, the northwestern Malaysian town of #Ipoh was the world’s largest producer of tin. Informally described by locals as the “town that tin built,” it grew from a sleepy village in the valley of the Kinta River to a hotbed of cabarets, night life and conspicuous consumption. But the collapse of tin prices in the 1980s curbed the city’s rise. Soon, Ipoh faded, existing primarily as a pleasant place to retire or as an eating stop for travelers. But Malaysia’s third most populous city is staging a comeback, @nytimestravel reports. The city’s fortunes began to improve in 2004 when the water theme park Lost World of Tambun opened there. A decade later, the Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic beautified old buildings with a series of murals. But the greatest change? A boom in new cafes in the town’s colonnaded shophouses, tucked between established businesses like silk shops, watch repairers and travel agents. @laurynishak took this photo of Market Lane in Ipoh.
